Willa Muir Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

This volume is a celebration of the life and work of Willa Muir.

This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafka's works that he himself thought worthy of publication. It includes Metamorphosis, his most famous work, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, and The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafka's eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.

Dejová línia prózy udržiava čitateľa v neustálom napätí a neistote. Veď akoby ste sa cítili, keby vás, tak ako protagonistu Jozefa K., v jedno ráno zobudili neznámi muži a odviedli nasledujúci deň na výsluch? V prípade Jozefa K. však nejde o nijaký žart, stáva sa súčasťou súdneho procesu, v ktorom figuruje ako obvinený.

Slavný román pražského rodáka doplněný o fragmenty, škrty a varianty. Šestý svazek díla Franze Kafky.

Franz Kafka's enigmatic, deadpan, and deeply pessimistic stories are central to literary modernism. In 'The Metamorphosis', the estrangement of everyday life becomes corporealized when Gregor Samsa wakes up as a giant bug and wonders how he is going to get to work on time. Kafka inverts the implied degradation of a man's transformation into an animal in 'A Report of the Academy', an ape's address to a group of scientists.
